Fireplace Accessories Not Worth Your Money

Use your good sense when you are choosing fireplace accessories. The cost of a fireplace can be somewhat expensive. Before you buy fireplace accessories, make sure you are not buying decorations. These types of fireplace accessories are not meant to do a good job. They are only meant to decorate and adorn the fireplace. They can be quite costly, but not be worth your money.

Holder

Stay away from decorative firewood holders. Any holder is going to take a beating from firewood being placed in it. Look for holders that can also be used as a firewood carrier. Spending a lot of money for this tool is not recommended.

Tools

Common fireplace accessories are a shovel, a broom, and a stoker. These tools will come into contact with soot and burning wood. These tools are essential and do not need to be beautiful. They simply need to be able to do their job. Stokers, for instance, need to be strong,  and not necessarily appealing to the eye.

Bellows

Fireplaces of today do not require the use of bellows. These fireplace accessories are typically for decoration. Do not waste your money on these when you can do the job yourself.
